That makes sense. Thank you.

Well, crap! I wish I would have known that before I did all of this. I guess I can still move it fairly easy. I did use 10 gauge wire in 1/2" conduit to power the pump. Used well specific wire from the pressure tank to the pump, then conduit from the tank to the cabin.

Yes, Google/YouTube has been pretty helpful with a lot of this. Thank you.

Sadly, I don't have a pressure gauge aside from the one that is plumbed in at the tank. The pressure is sufficient for getting the dishes done and anything else we need it for (unless there is some other reason I need to check the pressure?).

The 1-way valve (aka check valve) I took out was up at the cabin between the cabin spigot and the cabin. I installed another one down by the well just on the cabin side of the pressure tank. I think I included it on the diagram, but don't remember for sure now. Assuming my estimation of 150...

The tank pressure was at 65 PSI when it was shutting off before. Now I have it adjusted so that it shits off at 85 PSI and kicks on at 65 PSI. I adjusted it yesterday afternoon and it has been working fine ever since. Thanks again for the help! I am not 100 percent sure about the 150ft in...

I'm sorry. I feel a bit dumb, but I am struggling to understand the concept of how this switch thing works. If you have the time and patience, I will explain my understanding and you can tell me what I am getting wrong. The way I understand it is that the pump fills the pressure tank until...

Is it possible that the shower valve is just messed up? Would it be feasible to replace it, or just shut off the water to the house, drain it, then take the current shower valve apart and have someone turn the water main back on and see if you are getting cold water? I am no plumber by any...

The pump is a 220V, 1 HP submersible pump. I'm not sure what model it is. The water pressure at the sink is fine when it is working, but there is zero water at the sink when it is not. I agree that when I turn the spigot at the pressure tank on it must be lowering the pressure enough for the...

Hello everyone. I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to plumbing, but I can usually figure things out. That being said, I am kinda stuck here. I built a cabin and I am doing all of the plumbing myself. I am working on a budget, and my family is living in the cabin while I build it. We have...
